The 3rd Africa Data Science Intensive (DSI) programme started on 24 January with 20 participants (45% of whom are women) chosen from 2268 applicants and representing eleven African countries. “The rigorous selection procedure, which included online assessments and interviews, emphasised gender and geographic diversity with the goal of giving the brightest and most talented minds a chance to undertake a life-changing pro-gram that will equip them with the key skills for success in data science and artificial intelligence,” noted Prof. Bruce Bassett founder and lead organiser of the Africa DSI programme.
